Gamespot Vendetta Ad!

Nov 08, 2004 ctishman link
I was browsing Gamespot today, and this ad popped up! (note that original is in Flash, and very pretty). Whose work is that?

P.S. :Now I want a Flying Valks screensaver...

Exactly.

Do you have a link to the banner itself, from the gamespot site? I've refreshed a bunch of times, but it hasn't come up.

A static ad

I gave it a click once it showed up. Led to the Strategy First page on Vendetta, which listed the game, but I noted that the trial link was greyed out. Thus, anyone clicking through the ad banner might think there's no trial available. Might want to get on 'em to fix this, guys.

The only ad I can get to come up is "Lindsay Lohan, Hot Ready and Legal" ... I think Vendetta Online should use that slogan too.

Here is the Flash ad:

Here is the Flash SWF file directly:

It looks better in the first link.

Mmm... Valks on fire...

I think those are supposed to be exhaust trails... :P

They should remake that ad. Put all those Valks blasting past the screen, then a single Prom coming after them, guns blazing.

... which then gets shred to pieces by a maud lurking off screen :P
